Lump under chin in throat

Hi all!

I noticed I had a hard lump under my chin whilst putting on foundation. After a trip to the doctors I’ve been referred for a urgent scan and ENT. The lump is around 2cm

i have had several issues with tonsillitis in the past. My throat is sore, some chest pain and tonsils have swelled at the back of my throat. Other than that’s no other symptoms.

im starting to get really worried about the lump, it’s hard and I can help but google the worst. Has anyone experienced anything similar any advice welcome! 

Have my scan next week and just waiting on blood results.

  • Hiyah! 

    I had the same thing a couple of years ago, and funnily enough me and tonsillitis seem to go hand in hand. I had tests done and in the end it was just a swollen lymph node that never went back down after being ill.

    It’s more than likely a lymph node that has reacted to you being run down. Mines still the same size it was two years ago, but it’s completely harmless. It’s completely understandable that you are concerned though, I hope everything goes well for you! x

     

  • Hi Shep!

    thanks for much for your reply, glad to see that you are doing well.

    ive been back to the GP and they are repeating blood tests due to High inflammation and booked me a scan of the lump. Tonsils are still huge not showing any sign of going down after 3 weeks and a course of pencilin.

     

    not really sure what to think at this point just a lot of waiting around unfortunately! 

  • Hey guys,

    I don't suppose you found out what it was. I have had a lump under my chin for about a month. I went to the doctors last week and am now waiting on an appointment at the hospital for a scan. I was told it could take up to a month.(hopefully not) I've just noticed i have now two movable lumps under my chin and am even more concerned.

    It's typical really I usually am an hypocrite and go to the doctors about anything but with the coronavirus around I hadn't till recently. I have had white spots on my tonsils but not a sore throat. I also have had a lot of saliva, sort of like I constantly had something stuck in my throat. I have got a sort of bump inside my ear that feels tender to touch which is swollen so hope it's just an infection.

    also how long did it take for your results to come back? Thank you x

  • hi , did you get this checked out ? Xx
